11. SHELL STROMBUS MP
Epoxy Oilserv Marine Lubricants 11
Shell Strombus MP is designed specifically for
oil-filled stern tubes, particularly in the event of
leakage.
Product Description:
 Shell Strombus MP absorbs high amounts of
seawater. There is no need to reduce the
concentration of seawater emulsified in the oil until
it reaches levels of over 20%.
 Water is absorbed to form a stable emulsion which
continues to offer good lubrication and protection
against corrosion. The oil and its emulsion are
sufficiently fluid to circulate around the stern tube
bearing oil system.
 Its unique combination of base oils and carefully
selected additives, give good emulsibility while
offering a high level of protection to the metal
surfaces, in the presence of water.
 Compatible with most commercially available oils
used for stern tube lubrication.
Product Characteristics:
Kinematic Viscosity (IP 71)
@ 40°C mm2/s ----273
Density @ 15°C kg/m3 (IP 365) ----900
Flash Point °C (PMCC) (IP 34) ----200
Pour Point °C (IP 15) ----(–5)
Applications:
 The large majority of ships today are fitted with oil
lubricated stern tubes. The stern tube bearings and
the tail shaft are required to operate reliably, often
in extreme conditions due to vibration, water
ingress, flexing of the vessel’s structure, movement
of the vessel in heavy seas and with variations of
speed and temperature.
 Shell Strombus MP is specifically designed to be
compatible with diesel engine oils used for stern
tube lubrication. It is also suitable for the
lubrication of the fin shafts of certain retractable
stabilizers.
Recommendations:
Shell Strombus MP lubrication of stern tube
bearings and protection of tail shafts in systems
incorporating lip seal stern tube glands, but also
some face seals.
Accepted by most leading seal and bearing
manufacturers.
Suitable for Viton or Nitrile seals.
